University of Adelaide law academic Joanna Howe has posted to social media labelling female politicians 'baby killers' following a failure to change South Australian abortion laws.
Law professor Joanna Howe has labelled several politicians, including Minister for Child Protection Katrine Hildyard and Deputy Premier Susan Close, 'baby killers' in a social media post.
The post consists of illustrations of the women that appear to mimic The Baby Sitters Club — a popular children's novel series. SA Health previously told the ABC that in the first 18 months since the legislation was implemented, "there were less than five terminations performed after 27 weeks and no terminations after 29 weeks".
However, a representative of the university's student union YouX, said Dr Howe's views were "out of touch" and that "she does not speak for the women" of the university. Ms Lensink also expressed outrage at the post, and said Dr Howe "needs to accept that the majority of South Australian women do not agree with her"."She has already wasted too much of the parliament's time on laws which will never pass".
